Little Big Planet 3 to be Announced?
According to VG247, Little Big Planet 3 has shown up on an animator’s résumé. The little detail has magically disappeared from the web but as we all know, once it’s on the web, it’s on there forever. The page has been cached and here’s what the credit noted.,
‘Little Big Planet 3′ (Video Game) | Client: Sumo Digital / Surface Digital
Animator/VFX Artist – (Release TBC)
Producing ingame animation and VFX”
Of course there isn’t really any other information about the game itself or any dates but it’s definitely an interesting find that, at the very least, confirms the game is real and makes us wonder if Sony will be making any announcements about it at E3, which is right around the corner.
How Does Superman Shave? Bill Nye Chimes In
Gillette is running some interesting ads about how Superman shaves and they are asking many famous faces to come up with their best answer. The ads are part of a promotion for the upcoming film Superman: Man of Steel. I’m actually enjoying a lot of the responses in each video, even though I know it’s most likely going to be all about a Gillette razor. The videos are no less interesting though, especially when we get to hear Bill Nye offer up his best theory.
Apple’s WWDC is Nearing
Apple’s upcoming World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) is creating a lot of buzz in the tech community and rumors are at critical mass. What’s next for iOS, OSX and will there be any hardware announcements?
It’s highly likely that Apple will announce iOS 7 at this years event especially considering that banners, like the one above, are being placed at Moscone West in San Francisco, California where the event is being held.
iRadio could be a Spotify or Pandora replacement and with the recent announcement of Apple closing deals with all three major music labels, WWDC could be the perfect place to introduce the new service. OSX 10.9 is also very likely, especially considering we didn’t get any news about an OSX refresh earlier this year and the fact that there’s also a big banner with an “X” on it at Moscone, much like the iOS one. I’m thinking that we will see more integration of iOS features into OSX along with Jony Ive’s UI changes in look and feel, which is rumored to be much “flatter”.
What about hardware? Apple could be refreshing the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with new 4th generation Intel hardware, which we mentioned earlier this week. It’s hard to believe that the MacBook line up could get much thinner but they may do just that as well. If you have never picked up a MacBook Air, it almost feels fake and making it thinner would actually be pretty impressive. We have also been waiting quite a while for a big update for the Mac Pro and anything at all about this would be nice. There are also hopes to hear things like an Apple TV announcement or an iWatch release but like with any of this, we won’t know till the conference begins.
The conference is June 10-14 and you can get complete details including a schedule on Apple’s developer page.
